Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is the most “persistent” player in Euro history and is preparing to participate for the 6th time this summer. When the tournament that the whole world was waiting for was just over a day away, some fans shared a photo of Ronaldo at his first Euro tournament in 2004.

Many people were surprised by CR7’s appearance at that time. They think that after 2 decades, Ronaldo’s current appearance is even more handsome and chiseled.

Ronaldo burst into tears when Portugal lost the Euro 2004 final to Greece

In 2004, Ronaldo and his teammates advanced to the final at the Euro tournament held at home. Despite being rated higher, the team unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Greece and lost the championship. The image of Ronaldo bursting into tears at the age of 19 made many people sad.

However, Ronaldo enjoyed the joy of winning the Euro championship in 2016. In 2024, Ronaldo, at the age of 39, is about to enter what is considered the last Euro. The Al Nassr striker is still showing extremely high form with 50 goals last season. In the most recent match for Portugal, Ronaldo also scored a double to help the home team overcome Ireland with a score of 3-0.
